Arrowhead Brass Plumbing 253QTLF Hose Bibb 1/2 Fip X 3/4 Hose Thread

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING 253QTLF is a lead-free hose bibb designed for residential and light commercial water supply applications. It features a 1/2 inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) inlet and a 3/4 inch hose thread outlet, making it a standard fit for outdoor faucet and hose connection points. The quick-turn handle design allows fast shutoff without multiple rotations, which is useful in high-use or retrofit scenarios. This bibb is built lead-free, meeting requirements for potable water systems under current plumbing codes. It is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople wherever a wall-mount or sill-cock-style hose connection is needed.

The 253QTLF is suited for residential outdoor water service, irrigation system supply points, and utility connections where a 1/2 inch FIP threaded supply line terminates at a 3/4 inch hose thread outlet. The right-or-left operation design accommodates flexible handle positioning, which is practical in tight or awkward installation locations. It ships in a package quantity of 12 units, making it a practical stock item for plumbing contractors and supply houses.

Installation Notes

This hose bibb is installed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing fitting or installing this bibb. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to all threaded connections per standard practice and local plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines for potable water fittings. Do not overtighten the FIP connection; hand-snug plus wrench turns appropriate for brass fittings is the accepted practice.
